Yes, this has been bandied about since Ruth was playing. It was common for opponents to call him the n-word during every at-bat. And there is no doubt that he had some "Black features" (not only facially, but also his reported "abnormally large penis" ).

Was he half-black??? 25%??? Perhaps all White??? Who knows? But these accusations are not new or out of the blue - they began as soon as he hit the big leagues.

Ty Cobb relished every opportunity to call Ruth a gorilla (because of his nose) and all kinds of other racial epithets....
